Can a government ‘buyback’ get these guns out of Canadians’ hands?

Well it can't be seen by the general public, just members of the site. If you spent less time talking down your nose to members here and more time getting a feel for who generally posts what, you would have interpreted John's post for what it was.

To further the discussion: Oddly enough people are not criminals because they have knowledge of criminal acts. Nor does it matter whether they do or don’t do criminal acts. What being a criminal boils down to is being caught in doing a criminal act. Or there is enough evidence to substantiate the fact you have preformed a criminal act. Until you are caught and proven guilty, you are not a criminal. As a further example, you can obey or exceed the speed limits on the roads all you want, you only become quilt of being a speeder, when you get caught exceeding the speed limit.

You don't stop hunting because you grow old. You grow old because you stop hunting.

Sure but then do not bemoan how the public regards gun owners when some ignoramus talks about selling firearms and ammunition to criminals on a public website that anyone can join. It would be foolish to believe the authorities, news media, et al do not frequent firearms sites looking for this type of discussion and use it against us.

I can for see a time in this country that the only legal guns for hunting will be a single shot black powder muzzle loader..all others will be prohibited.

If knowledge of various things was a crime I would be in prison for at least 1000 years.

Your already in prison. It’s just a different kind of prison.

Banning paintball guns? Wow, finally they are getting down to doing something intelligent. Paintball guns are the only firearm apart from maybe water pistol you get to point and shoot people with, which doesn’t draw any legal consequences. You get to take your video game bravo, into the realm of real life and pepper real people with tangible firearms and ammunition how be the latter paintball projectiles, all in the name of a fun and recreation. Further blurring the line between fantasy and reality. Do you suppose it just might motivate some individuals to take it to the next level? Maybe it already has. Imagine, paintball camps the training grounds for big city street gangs, and school mass shooters.

That would sound more like a mental illness problem!
Maybe some of this wasted money should be spent there instead.
